Life Advice: Visit these 9 places before leaving Hangzhou‼️

Visiting Hangzhou during the National Day? Here are some highly recommended spots to explore before you depart. Not only are they less crowded, but they also offer exceptional photo opportunities! 1⃣ Qingshan Lake Water Forest: This verdant oasis is reminiscent of stepping into the world of The Wizard of Oz. The play of light and shadow on the lake, filtered through the tree branches, is absolutely stunning. The sight of wild ducks gliding across the water is particularly soothing. 2⃣ Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park: This place is strikingly similar to the locales in Hayao Miyazaki's animated world. Each season presents a different scenic beauty. A stroll here is incredibly calming and serene. There's also a deer park where you can feed the fawns. 3⃣ Wansong Academy Sky Corridor: Located near Wansong Academy and nestled in the mountains, the winding S-shaped corridor is particularly therapeutic and photogenic under the sunlight. 4⃣ Han Meilin Art Museum: Situated within Hangzhou Botanical Garden, a left turn at the entrance will lead you to the iconic giant Buddha head. The place is less crowded, scenic, and offers high-quality photo opportunities. There are also indoor exhibitions to explore. 5⃣ Xiling Bridge: Reserve an afternoon in Hangzhou to watch the sunset here. Sit on a lakeside bench with your loved one and wait for the 1314 Love Bus. 6⃣ Huagang Fish Viewing: This place boasts a large area of waterside red maples and numerous carp in the water. The photo opportunities are exceptional, and under the sunlight, the entire scene is so beautiful it almost seems unreal. 7⃣ Yunsong Book House: This exquisite library, built by Mr. Jin Yong at a cost of millions, is nestled among pavilions, towers, artificial mountains, and flowing water, creating a tranquil scene reminiscent of a landscape painting. 8⃣ Taiziwan: This free park by the West Lake is beautiful all year round. The park is filled with greenery, and every snapshot is imbued with a French cinematic feel. 9⃣ Jingci Temple: This is one of my favorite temples in Hangzhou. It's a great spot for photographing the Leifeng Pagoda, located just opposite, and attracts fewer tourists than the pagoda. #ExploringTheBeautyOfWestLake #OutdoorFun #HiddenFreeCheck-inSpots #OutdoorBaseCamp #WeekendDestination
